Beat digital technology obstacles

摘要

Few exploration and production (E&P) companies come close to high utilization of the state-of-the-art digital technologies, data and people in which they have invested so much money. Often, large gaps exist between the vision and everyday reality. All kinds of inefficiencies can undermine value creation - too many silos between disciplines, databases and applications; lack of shared earth modeling; unnecessarily complex workflows; training out of sync with user needs; inconsistent economic and risk analysis techniques. The result may be serious misalignment between management expectations and the daily activities of E&P professionals.
